options like nav? I wanted to trade in my 2008 Scion Xb, which I absolutely love, for a civic because the XB isn't getting as good as gas mileage as I wanted (27mpg). My boyfriend has a 2007 Civic and I love that one too and they also get 36 or more mpg. However, I have 5years left on the scion to pay off and with a new plan with the civic it'll be 6 years instead of 5. Should I go for it and save the money on gas right now?
 
The money you'll save on the gas won't make up for the the money you'll lose doing this trade.

Sit down and do the math. Determine the savings over a 3 year period on gas expense. Determine the difference it will cost you to trade the Scion and pay for the Civic.

I think you'll find that over time this won't save you any money at all.
